At the meeting, a list of steps to be taken by the Samaria Regional Council together with the industrialists to combat the decision and to assist the factories was decided on. Among other things, the decision was made, together with the industrialists, to file a class action against the UN in accordance with the BDS Law.

Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, said 'We have come together following the disgraceful declaration issued by such a leading human rights organization, the United Nations Human Rights Council, led by countries that preach morality to us like Libya, Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait - countries known for their concern for human rights. Not only will we not break, we will fight - at the beginning of the week the Samaria Regional Council together with representatives of factories in the Barkan Industrial Zone will file a lawsuit against the boycott of human rights council officials, led by United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet and Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres, as well as against other leftist organizations, and we will demand to receive compensation, as was decided by the Jerusalem District Court under the honorable Judge Yosef Shapiro, that there is no immunity from civil lawsuits and there is no way to hide behind immunity.'..."
